How to Invest Managed Funds

Read the relevant fund Product Disclosure Statement, Information Booklet, Target Market Determination and the Financial Services Guide available on our Fund Documents webpage.

• If you are a new investor, complete and sign the Initial Application Form.
• Then refer to step 3 below and complete the required Client Identification Form(s) for anti-money laundering purposes.

The Initial Application Form under section 1 (Investor Type) instructs you which Client Identification form(s) to complete*. As a new investor, you will need to provide certified copies of identification documents with your application. Refer to Certification of Documents page for guidance on how to have documents certified and the list of eligible certifiers.

Under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (AML/CTF Act) we are obliged to collect and verify the identity of our customers which we do via the Customer Identification forms below which you can download and print. Full instructions on how to complete these forms are included in the form.

Please note, we cannot process your application until you send us your:

• Completed customer identification form(s), as relevant to the type of investor you are from the categories listed below, and
• Related customer identification documents (e.g. certified copy of a driver’s licence).
• Note: Advisers submitting applications on behalf of their clients must send in certified copies of customer identification documents.  

Forms:

• Individuals (including sole traders)
• Australian regulated trusts (including self-managed super funds)
• Unregulated trusts
• Australian companies
• Foreign companies
• Partnerships
• Associations
• Registered co-operatives
• Government bodies

If you are an existing investor and you have previously provided the required customer identification form(s), you may not need to provide additional identification unless setting up an account in a different name.

Send us your cheque or transfer your application monies into SSGA’s applications account. Please note that the minimum investment amount for our retail funds is $25,000 and the minimum additional investment amount is $10,000. Payment instructions can be found under section 11 (Payment Instructions) of the Initial Application Form.

If you are investing in one of the active funds you can also pay by BPAY®. To do this select this payment method at section 11 of the Initial Application Form to request a Client Reference Number (‘CRN’). Once we provide you with your CRN please transfer your funds to enable us to issue you with units in the fund. You will need to quote the relevant fund’s BPAY® biller code (as listed in section 11 of the application form) and your CRN.
